As the seasons change, so do our moods and the fragrances we wear to reflect them. The warmer scents of fall inspire spicier, woodsier perfumes, reflective of the rich colors and thicker textures beholden to the season. With the official start of fall just a few short days away, I’m ready to update my perfume tray with a few sultrier concoctions. If you’re ready to update, too, think of scents that go hand-in-hand with caramel, pumpkin, and cinnamon. These are the bases that inspired the new fall 2014 perfume lineup, some of which are listed below. Read ahead for some of my top selections.
6 Perfect Perfumes for Fall
- Wood Sage & Sea Salt by Jo Malone – Inspired by the sea-side air and windswept shore, Jo Malone’s new fragrance combines the woody earthiness of sage with the freshness of ocean waves.
- Velvet Rose by Dolce & Gabbana – If you’re a rose lover, this is the perfect fragrance for you. It combines three different types of roses with a hearty musk base.
- Black Opium: Paris Rebel Collector by Yves Saint Laurent – This scent is not for the timid, blending notes of citrus, pink pepper, and tomato leaves for a bold fragrance.
- Narciso by Narciso Rodriguez – This seductively musky scent is clean and forward thinking.
- Bonbon by Viktor & Rolf – As the name implies, this scent was inspired by caramel with notes of peach, amber and sandalwood.
- Halston Woman Amber by Halston – An exotic blend that combines amber, tuberose, musk and sandalwood with Italian mandarin and red currants.
